About

I've had a good variety of jobs in my life, but none have meant as much to me as those jobs where I was able to use my mind and my hands. Most important of these is the work that I did in my grandfather's shop building and restoring stagecoaches, wagons, and other types of horse-drawn vehicles. While many of our tools were modern, we still had to do much of the work in the same ways that our forebears did. What I took from these formative years was a love for working with my hands and an appreciation for creating something functional and aesthetically pleasing out of simple raw materials.

Artist Statement

Heat it. Beat it. Cut it. Stitch it. That’s what we do in our husband and wife blacksmith and leather work business. At any given time we might be banging away at the forge and anvil or threading a needle in the leather shop, and sometimes both at the same time. Plus, all of our items are hand-made in Fort Worth, y’all!
